"Desirous of Change" is the sixth episode of the third series of the British television series, Upstairs, Downstairs. The episode is set in 1913.
Richard Bellamy has a brief, steamy affair with a Vienna-born French Countess de Ternay, which ends on wistfully friendly terms when they both realise neither has the wealth that their public appearances imply. Gwyneth Davies falls in love with Richard Bellamy and goes away telling that it's time for her to leave for she is "desirous of change".[1]
